Volunteer Executive Director (Part-Time) - Thrive Wellness Collective
Help Us Transform Maternal Health in San Diego
Are you a passionate leader with experience in nonprofit growth and executive leadership? Do you want to make a direct impact on the lives of women and families in our community? Thrive Wellness Collective is seeking a Volunteer Executive Director to help us expand our reach and continue changing lives through safer, more supportive birth outcomes.
About Thrive Wellness Collective:
We are a growing nonprofit founded by a licensed midwife, dedicated to addressing the maternal health crisis in America-starting right here in San Diego. Our organization fills a critical gap in care by subsidizing individualized midwifery services, doula care, maternal mental health support, breastfeeding resources, pregnancy loss support, and a breastmilk donation connection program.
We’re on a mission to launch San Diego’s first free-standing Maternal Mental Health Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) to serve Medi-Cal families and the most vulnerable members of our community.
In the U.S., maternal mortality rates are the highest among developed nations, with women of color being 5 times more likely to die from pregnancy or birth-related causes. Research shows that midwifery-led care is a vital solution to this crisis, and Thrive Wellness Collective is leading that charge in our region.
Why We Need You:
As our founder continues to serve in an unpaid leadership role while managing her own business, Thrive is seeking an experienced, visionary leader to help us grow into a sustainable, thriving organization. Your expertise could be the key to helping us expand our impact and secure the funding needed to hire a permanent, paid Executive Director.
What You’ll Do:
- Strategic Leadership: Guide the organization’s growth strategy and help scale our programs to reach more women and families.
- Fundraising & Development: Collaborate with our grant writer and marketing director to build sustainable funding streams.
- Operational Oversight: Support our incredible volunteer team and ensure smooth day-to-day operations.
- Community Engagement: Strengthen partnerships with healthcare providers, donors, and community leaders to amplify our impact.
What We Offer:
- A passionate, dedicated team of volunteers committed to changing maternal health outcomes.
- Flexibility in how you contribute-this is a very part-time volunteer position with the potential to grow into a paid part-time leadership role if we’re the right fit.
- The opportunity to directly shape the future of maternal care in San Diego.
Who You Are:
- Experienced in nonprofit leadership or executive management.
- Passionate about maternal health, women’s health, and social impact.
- Skilled in organizational growth, fundraising, and team leadership.
- A collaborative leader with a heart for serving vulnerable communities.
Let’s Change Lives Together.
Your leadership could be the driving force that helps us expand our services and reach more women who need us most. Please take a moment to watch our organizational video to see the difference we’re already making.
If you’re ready to help us grow and save lives, we’d love to hear from you.
Apply Today and join Thrive Wellness Collective in making birth safer, support more accessible, and maternal health a priority in our community.
Thank you for believing in this mission.

Mission Statement
Thrive Wellness Collective is a 501c3 organization that strives to make midwifery and holistic healthcare accessible to everyone, no matter their economic status. These services are partnered with the education needed to assure better birth outcomes and lifelong wellness.
Description
America has the highest maternal mortality rate out of all developed countries. Statistics show that midwifery care lowers maternal mortality rates and creates better birth outcomes. All mothers and babies deserve to THRIVE. Thrive Wellness Collective, a 501c3 non-profit, helped 50 families last year and aims to help 365 families this year, one family per day. Join us in our mission to empower families and strengthen communities.
- The majority of maternal deaths are preventable.
- America is the only industrialized country with a rising maternal mortality rate despite spending more on healthcare per capita.
- Midwives in the U.S (approx. 6 per 1000 women) much lower than other countries with better birth outcomes. France, Germany, Switzerland have over 25 midwives per 1000. All countries have almost the same amount of OB/Gyns per 1000 women.
- The U.S cesarean rate is approximately 32% of all births
- Most cesarean sections that take place in the United States are caused by other unneeded interventions.
- We offer low cost birth and well woman services, newborn care up to 6 weeks, miscarriage and pregnancy loss support and education, child birth, new parent, breastfeeding, and new born education, milk donation program, all with a goal of creating community for the families we serve.
